We recommend the most relevant investors

Unicorn Nest

We set industry standard for venture capital for
fundraising and investor relations as a continuous
process, from the first institutional rounds to the
exit to affect the $500B capital market.
Vision

- Founders' core competencies lie in building and expanding businesses, not raising
funds.
- Most famous VCs are overloaded by deal flow and due diligence.
- Startups are forced to allocate a large number of resources towards VC reporting
systems at the expense of funding their own operations.
Problem
Fundraising is a complicated and resource-
intensive process for startups.

Big Picture
Traditional methods are no longer applicable for
today's funding landscape.

Data collection is carried out in 2 ways:
Automated tools: Web-spiders collect
structured information from the web: VC
data providers, social networks, regulatory
filings
Semi-manual ML-empowered tools: A team
of junior analysts using our own software
enriches the dataset with extra data from
unstructured sources.
Data collection

Our targeted ecosystem provides the consistent work of such elements: A flock of web spiders
(I) that collect data for our dataset (II). User interaction with our database using our matching
rules (III). Reaching relevant investors (IV) through the built-in IRM. Receiving feedback from
them, which is also aggregated into our dataset (V).
